Dave Winer is pointing to a post by Todd Cochrane at Geek News Central regarding Podshow. The folks over at Podshow are in the midst of launching their service and it seems a few things may need to be explained, Primarily why is Podshow re-processing the RSS feeds of podcasts that are not part of the Podshow network? The copyright information in Morning Coffee Notes feed [link to RSS] is being removed from the Podshow version [link to RSS]. Why are they not just redirecting their feed URI or just linking to the original podcast’s feed?
There were also complaints that it was difficult to get to the original homepage via the Podshow listing , but I found my way out with little trouble.
Podshow is in the middle of the launch, coming online in bits and pieces and I’m sure they will iron out many issues in the coming days/weeks. But the RSS feed processing seems pretty ingrained into their service and I think that an explanation to the Blog/Podosphere is in order.
